Walking among the rows, grape harvest , de-stemming and crushing of grapes, must tasting, winery visit, brunch with Sicilian specialties and wine tasting. Lawn, organic olive and citrus groves, animal area,Mediterranean garden.
We would like to experience the grape harvest with you in a unique way and share in this celebration, experience firsthand grape picking, experience de-stemming, crushing and 'tasting the fresh must. This beautiful journey takes us to learn about the attentions of the winemakers, explore the microclimate of these hillsides; walk through the rows of the Frederick II vineyard, pick the grapes in the special wicker baskets, detach the berries from the bunches and squeeze them in the small press makes us experience firsthand this engaging experience that culminates in the tasting of the organic grape juice you produce.
During peak production periods (usually August and September) you can book a foot press in the ancient zinc vat and experience how the harvest was once done. We linger in the atrium of the baglio to learn about some of the tools of rural life, arrive in the winemaking area of the cellar to taste a wine straight from the vat; together we will discover all the secrets of maceration and fermentation of the musts. Passing through the bottling area we reach the aging room for red wines among barrels and barriques. Here a red wine tasting awaits us, which you can tap directly from the barrique. In the garden veranda or in the tasting room of the winery we will prepare a tasty brunch with five Sicilian specialties including local cheeses, tasty salami, vegetables from our garden, homemade bread with extra virgin olive oil, delicious citrus jellies, organic honey. All enriched by the tasting of two wines that denote the strong link with the territory: a versatile, fresh and savory white wine typical of the hilly territory and a red wine of character with a fruity bouquet.
We are happy to welcome you to our Bio farm and put at your disposal all the green spaces: the vast lawn, the small Mediterranean garden dedicated to aromatic plants, the avenue of ancient olive trees, the organic citrus grove, the animal area

Host information
The Bio Fattoria Augustali is in Sicily between the provinces of Trapani and Palermo in the centre of the Gulf of Castellammare in the most fertile part of Bosco Falconeria between Alcamo and Partinico, an area so dear to Frederick II of Swabia.
The family's vineyards and olive groves extend over twelve hectares in the gentle hilly landscape that descends towards the sea, once called the "garden" because it was a fertile and evocative land.
The winery is supervised by oenologist Vincenzo Bambina and his wife Finella, a beekeeper and educational factor; together with them, visitors can share the rhythms, scents and flavours of the Sicilian countryside.
Immersed in the company's vineyards, the winery encapsulates all the company philosophy: respect for the raw material and the surrounding territory. It takes up the square shape of the typical 19th-century Sicilian baglio.
